Notes

Name Status: Accepted Name .

Comment: Year from Eschmeyer[3].

Last scrutiny: Data last modified by FishBase 02-Feb-1998

Following Eschmeyer (2004) the spelling of the specific name huegeli was corrected to Aulopyge huegelii.

There has been some confusion about the date of publication of the specific name, with the years 1841, 1842 and 1843 being used by different sources. Kottelat (1997) is followed here as he states the following: "Although the generic name Aulopyge is available from Heckel (1841a: 384 [published 30 April 1941]; also 1841b: 523 [published 1842 according to Eschmeyer, 1990]), the species name A. huegelii is only available from his 1842 description . In the 1841 paper, Heckel only mentioned that the species would be named for Hügel, but did not use the name huegelii. The description is repeated in Heckel (1843: 1021)."[2].
